If they made it look nothing like any other sedan, everyone would be bitching about that. It’s a solid looking profile.
I think they had a really hard act to follow in the G30. Of course, I’m biased because I’ve bought two of them in the last 18 months. But it’s a new generation. They’re not going to make it look like the E39 or the F10 or the G30. It’s its own deal.
5 series customers were begging for it not to have an out of the box design like the front ends of the 4 and M3, or like the new 7. It has an appropriate grill, no split head lights, and a classic long front end. They look to have gone pretty sloped on the rear end but it’s by no means outside the box. It looks sleek, subtle, and traditional. It’s a 5 series, not an M3.
It looks exactly like what I think it’s supposed to be. Are there details I don’t love? Yeah. But nothing that jumps out and screams at me. I think it’s promising.
